Stocking help please.

Hey everybody!
I currently have started an innovative marine sr-60 A.I.O.
I cycled with dr.tims and ammonia chloride.
I am using the 4 month lights off period from brs.
I currently have 2 - 1" - 1.5" clownfish added three weeks ago this Saturday.

My question is do I add another fish next or should I add some clean up crew?

I have zero algae yet which is why I ask.
I would not like to have a cleanup crew starve.

Thanks.
Paul.

I started with a pair of clowns as well. I added a cardinal after they were in for 3 weeks followed by a firefish 2 weeks later. My thought was to space out to give room for bioload to balance out. I started clean up when i started seeing the need, aka algae. This was about 2 months in although this was after i fired up some lighting.
I personally didnt feel that they had anything to eat until i could see some life growing.

Thanks! That's what I was thinking as well. Wouldn't want to create an ammonia spike or something killing off snails and crabs...
